I suffer from an "embarrassment of riches"... Work is good and exciting, and I need to stay focused on that... at the same time, i'll be taking my daughter on a 4000 mile road trip to start University in Nova Scotia in the few days before the Gathering.

Ahh, the reason isn't important. It will never accommodate everyone all the time with everything people have going on...it seems we will be missing some of the "regulars" this year...Warren, Dwain, Dave L, Bruce Dow, ??? else because of conflicts...but the good news is maybe we will pick up some that wouldn't have been able to come later on!! Maybe it can be a thread or a topic at the "G" what week(s) seem to be 'best' (if there is such a thing) for folks' availability...

Seems to me we should just extend it to the whole month of September; that should accomodate more people! And I could use the vacation...

Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting as to what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the result of the vote.

Due to other expenses I will not be able to make it to the Gathering this year. This is a diappointment for me as I was looking forward to meeting other Glen-L builders. I will just have to look forward to next year.

I just cancelled my reservation and floating cabin #7 should now be available.
